Ummm...actually, TechCrunch may have started as Mike posting stories in his underwear years ago, but it's a thriving startup in its own right today, between TC, Crunchbase, TC50, Crunchgear, etc, etc. I bet the whole mess is worth $50 - 100m.

Define "worth" in that context. Do you really think someone would pay that much for it now?

Btw, for comparison, HuffPo raised at a $75m pre-money valuation (announced Dec 1 but negotiated and finalized possibly before the economy went haywaire) and they have about 4x the traffic of TechCrunch.

I feel like you're an order of magnitude off there.

Would you say that in person? No? Then don't say it here.

By the way, I think Mike has posted here once or twice.

What if he would say it in person? 'just saying! But, if he would, then he can say it here and did.

Then he's rude and won't be invited to my birthday party. The point is to be cordial to one another.
